Subject Level: Awareness of Print

The awareness of print topics that we cover in this section include the basics of how print works. For example, we read from books that have a front cover, back cover and a spine that holds them together. The pages of a book are turned one at a time so the story makes sense. There are big words and small words and we can use our counting skills to count how many letters are in words. Letters come in different shapes and sizes that we can categorize. You will find tons of resources here to help you with your lessons about awareness of print.

Look out for these tall letters! They’re represented by a tall, yet sweet giraffe, to show kids that the tall letters touch both the top line the bottom base line (in most cases). One page with three cards.

This cool set of color-coded letters comes with an animal: the tall brown letters have a giraffe next to them, the small green letters have a turtle next to them and the golden fall letters have a monkey next to them.

In this letter set all the letters come in the same color – orange. No color-coding or animals here to help kids sort them. Kids will have to know what type of letter it is using the guidelines you’ve taught them.

This three poster color-coded set has one poster for each type of letter. The title is in large bold letters and the letters are written on large primary writing lines. Each type of letter is represented by a different animal.

Here’s a fun set of ALL the letters to sort. Cut out the letters and glue them into the matching category. Two sets of letters are provided – cut the letters out individually or save cutting time and cut on the shared lines.
